Ever since she was a little girl learning to make decadent
truffles in her family's chocolate shop, Juliet Arabella has
been aware of the bitter feud between the Arabellas and the
Mezzanottes. With their rival chocolate boutiques on the
same street in Napa Valley, these families never mix. Until
one night, when Juliet anonymously attends the annual
masquerade ball. In a moonlit vineyard, she finds herself
falling for a gorgeous stranger, a man who reminds her what
passion is like outside of the kitchen. But her bliss is
short-lived when she discovers her masked prince is actually
Leo Mezzanotte, newly returned from Paris and the heir to
her archenemy's confection dynasty.
With her mind in a whirl, Juliet leaves for Italy to
represent the Arabellas in a prestigious chocolate
competition. The prize money will help her family's
struggling business, and Juliet figures it's a perfect
opportunity to forget Leo only to find him already there and
gunning for victory. As they compete head-to-head, Leo and
Juliet's fervent attraction boils over. But Juliet's not
sure whether to trust her adversary, or give up on the
sweetest love she's ever tasted .
